BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Cleaning up the second-hand car market

A plan to clean-up the second-hand car market, and a shortage of the shingles vaccine.

The new housing minister on the success of 'Help to Buy', calls for companies to stop using 08 numbers for customers trying to switch, and a shortage of the shingles vaccine.

Winifred Robinson assesses the success of the Government's Help to Buy scheme so far and speaks to the people who have tried to make it work for them. Buying a second hand car can be a stressful task. We look at the pitfalls and how to avoid them. After an investigation by the Office of Fair Trading led three of Britain's biggest gym chains to change their membership terms, we'll visit the gyms offering pay as you go deals. Plus, we investigate why a mistake on information leaflets has contributed to a shortage of the shingles vaccine.
